I'd like to see what everyone idea on battery replacement is. Do you only replace the bad batteries or all the batteries. I use a carbon pile tester to test batteries. What is the community consensus.

3ARTransport Thanks this. -
A group of batteries is only as good as the weakest one. Unless the batteries are only a month or 2 old and one was defective, I'd say change them all.
Diesel Dave, rabbiporkchop, BoxCarKidd and 1 other person Thank this. -
A service call will buy ya 4 new batteries ...junk batteries arnt worth screwing with and they will take out an alternator.
BoxCarKidd Thanks this. -
What are you doing? What are you really asking?
One truck running the road change them all. Local yocal or have a 6 month old battery fail maybe just one.
Like to put batteries in otr trucks in sets and good used batteries together in the dogs and city trucks. -

400 bucks every 2 years is worth the peace of mind to me .
3ARTransport Thanks this. -
A few months back my trk had battery "issues ".
2 were junk , thee other 2 had a little life left .
Replaced 2 , ended up replacing thee other two a month later .
Lesson learned ~ when one goes thee others arent far behind , save a trip to the shop and have them all replaced.
Note ~ batteries were 3 + years old so not a total surprise .Road Killer and bzinger Thank this.
